rightly dubbed, About F’n Time Ale.&nbsp; </em><p><em>Led by Tomme Arthur and Steve Burchill of The Lost Abbey and Patrick Rue and Jeremy Grinkey of The Bruery, the breweries decided a barrel-aged sour was the road to travel on. Using a Bruery blonde sour and fruited sour barrels from The Lost Abbey, About F’n Time was brought in to existence. </em><p><em> “Patrick and I have been friends for quite some time, we’ve spoken on panels, and drank many a beers while traveling,” said Tomme Arthur, COO, and Co-founder of The Lost Abbey. “When we started thinking about breweries for this project, we were kind of surprised we hadn’t teamed up yet.” </em><p><em>About F’n Time Ale begins with aroma’s of tart Raspberry and tropical Brett hints leading to a refreshing stone fruit and berry funk, finishing with slightly tannic, oak character.&nbsp; </em><p><em>About F’n Time Ale will be draft only and will debut at The Lost Abbey’s 12<sup>th</sup>Anniversary Celebration, Saturday, May 26<sup>th</sup>. </em><p><em><b>About Port Brewing / The Lost Abbey / The Hop Concept</b><br>Founded in 2006, The Lost Abbey produces an extensive line-up of continental and American- inspired ales and lagers. Under the direction of visionary brewmaster and co-founder Tomme Arthur, the brewery has garnered dozens of awards including the 2007 Great American Beer Festival Small Brewery of the Year, The 2008 World Beer Cup Champion Small Brewery and the 2013 Champion Brewery at the San Diego International Beer Festival. The company’s beers, many of which are aged in oak barrels for 12 months or longer, are universally recognized for their complexity, unique flavors, and bold boundary-pushing styles.

Innovation has driven The Bruery to create one-of-a-kind barrel-aged, sour and experimental beers since its inception. In 2015, The Bruery moved its sour beer production to the Bruery Terreux co-brand in Anaheim, CA, while The Bruery continues to craft non-sour and spirit barrel-aged beers at its original site in Placentia, CA. Bottles and draft from The Bruery and Bruery Terreux are distributed in nearly 30 states, including Washington, D.C. In 2017, Offshoot Beer Co. was born, specializing in hoppy beers packaged in 16-oz. cans. Limited beers are released monthly through OffshootBeer.com, and fresh cans of Relax [it’s just a hazy IPA] are distributed throughout Southern California, Northern California, Washington, D.C., and Virginia. In 2018, The Bruery officially opened The Bruery Store at Union Market in Washington, D.C., its first retail location outside of California.</em>http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-lost-abbey-and-bruery-to.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bil Cord)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738798358384736580.post-111313443275413423Thu, 24 May 2018 16:11:00 +00002018-05-24T13:11:54.383-04:00Beer Press ReleasesBeerNewsCigarCityFLbeerCigar City Brewing Expands Northeast & Mid-Atlantic Distribution<p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0A7FPWY7FPM/WwbyVJ9jUqI/AAAAAAAFkwA/jHNHsNb2p8oFRCk3FFAHM61MNy7DbQjLgCHMYCw/s1600-h/image%255B5%255D"><img width="640" height="490" title="Cigar City Brewing Expands Northeast &amp; Mid-Atlantic Distribution" style="margin: 0px auto; float: none; display: block;" alt="Cigar City Brewing Expands Northeast &amp; Mid-Atlantic Distribution" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DA9gBR_cQaU/WwbyWfz5PYI/AAAAAAAFkwE/uMTWE4oWpzkdOyBxC2zewH4Tg13kY17qACHMYCw/image_thumb%255B3%255D?imgmax=800"></a>From <a href="http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/search/label/CigarCity" target="_blank">Cigar City</a>:</p><p><em>TAMPA, <a href="http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/search/label/FLbeer" target="_blank">FL</a>&nbsp; - <a href="http://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/search/label/CigarCity" target="_blank">Cigar City</a> Brewing’s rapid growth continues in 2018 with the addition of multiple markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. CCB has partnered with several wholesalers in the Sheehan Family Companies network to distribute its portfolio of unique ales and lagers in Maryland, Massachusetts and Upstate New York. Kegs and twelve ounce cans of award-winning beers, including world-renowned Jai Alai IPA and Guayabera Citra Pale Ale, will be available in these markets beginning this month.</em><p><em>While the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley have enjoyed CCB's award-winning offerings for several years, CCB’s membership in the CANarchy Craft Beer Collective has recently allowed it to grow and meet the demands of an evolving craft beer market in the US. Consequently, and thanks to new partnerships with Craft Beer Guild of New York, Tri-Valley Beverage and T.J. Sheehan Distributing, CCB's beers will now be available across the northern portion of the Empire State. In Massachusetts, Seaboard Products Co., L. Knife &amp; Son and Craft Beer Guild Distributing of Massachusetts will deliver CCB in every county of the state. Finally, Rosedale’s Legends Distributing has signed on as CCB’s wholesale partner for the entirety of Maryland.</em><blockquote><p><em>“It’s been a long time coming but we’re thrilled to bring our Florida-inspired beers to some of our favorite areas of the Mid-Atlantic and New England,” says CCB’s El Lector Neil Callaghan. “We’ve been lucky enough to spread the gospel of Florida brewing in pockets of the region for years, but now with the help of the Sheehan Family Companies’ network, we’re able to bring Florida flavor to Baltimore, Boston and Binghamton - twelve ounces at a time!”</em></p></blockquote><p><em>Sheehan Family Companies Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing, Michael Brazel, says, “As the Craft Beer industry continues to evolve, great beer, exceptional programming and execution, along with rock-solid partnerships, prove to be the recipe for sustainable success. The Sheehan Family Companies are extremely excited to further expand our partnership with CANarchy, and specifically Cigar City Brewing, in these multiple markets.”</em><p><em>Market launch events will take place throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in May and June with representatives from CCB travelling from Tampa to celebrate. Events will feature additional CCB beers and will foster opportunities for craft beer fans to learn about the brewery’s history and its internationally acclaimed beer from the people who know it best.</em><p><em>CCB’s beer, including award-winning Jai Alai IPA, will be available in twenty one states encompassing Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Utah, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Delaware, California, Massachusetts, Arizona and Maryland.

A portion of the proceeds from each pint and bottle sold will be donated to the California condor recovery project at the Oregon Zoo. </em></p><p><br><em>California condors, the largest land birds in North America with wingspans of nearly 10 feet, were one of the original animals included in the 1973 Endangered Species Act. By the 1980s, only 22 remained in the wild, and all were brought under human care to save the species. Thanks to breeding programs like the Oregon Zoo’s, the world’s California condor population now totals more than 460 birds, most of which are<br>flying free.</em></p><p><em>“Condors are native to the Pacific Northwest and were commonly seen here during the Lewis and Clark Expedition,” noted Dr. Don Moore, Oregon Zoo director. “Ultimately, we’d love to see them return to the skies over Oregon.”</em></p><p><br><em>Accumulated lead poisoning—a problem that plagues bald eagles, golden eagles and all raptors and scavengers—is the most severe obstacle to the California condor’s recovery as a species. </em></p><p><br><em>“We are happy to support the recovery effort of the California condor by brewing a beer for the Oregon Zoo,” says Rogue President Brett Joyce. “Supporting the local community—both the people and the animals—is in Rogue’s DNA. In order to lease our first building in 1988, we had to promise Mo Niemi (of the famous Mo’s) that we would give back and ‘feed the fishermen.’ The Condor Kolsch project helps us fulfill our first promise, and we are happy to do it.” </em></p><p><br><em>Condor Kolsch is available on draft at the Oregon Zoo and at </em><a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/c7vm3b/8vg8rcb/0dltqy"><em>Rogue pubs</em></a><em>, as well as in 22 ounce bottles in select retailers in Oregon. </em></p><p><em>For photos and samples of Condor Kolsch, contact Rachel Morrison, </em><a><em>rachelm@rogue.com</em></a><em>.

Today CBC stays true to their San Diego roots, brewing abundantly hoppy West Coast-style ales, which are available today in 14 US states and 12 countries. In addition to the long-established pub in Coronado, the company opened a tasting room inside its San Diego production facility in 2013, and a tasting room and restaurant in Imperial Beach, California in 2014.

O'Reilly immediately began transforming the </em><a href="http://www.slyfoxbeer.com/#beer"><em>Sly Fox beer portfolio</em></a><em> into what has since become one of the most respected portfolios of new- and old-world styles available anywhere.<br>Sly Fox's enduring success has been due, in large part, to O'Reilly's award-winning beers and careful go-to market style. The brewery won a </em><a href="https://www.greatamericanbeerfestival.com/"><em>Great American Beer Festival </em></a><em>(GABF) medal for its Helles Golden Lager in O'Reilly's inaugural year and has accumulated more than a dozen since, including four medals in five years&nbsp; for its Grisette Summer Ale. O'Reilly was also instrumental in championing craft beer in cans and, in 2006, oversaw Sly Fox's transition as the first craft brewery in the mid-Atlantic region to install a canning line.<br>Sly Fox Brewing Company, with the main brewery and tasting room in Pottstown, the newly renovated Phoenixville pub and the anticipated Wyomissing and Malvern locations in development, is well-known for pairing its beer releases with compelling events.<br>When O'Reilly first came to Sly Fox, he proposed a spring celebration that would feature racing goats, and now in its 18th year, the</em><a href="http://www.slyfoxbeer.com/bockfest"><em> Sly Fox Bock Festival and Goat Races</em></a><em> hosts more than 5,000 guests and is named best beer event in Philadelphia year after year. The brewery hosts a packed schedule of other uncommon events that all started as O'Reilly ideas, including a huge outdoor music festival and Robert Burns birthday celebration, but it's beer making that motivates the brewer.<br>"I'm most proud of the actual growth of the brewing operation," reflects O'Reilly. <br>"When we look back at where we came from, scrambling to make beer in the little brewpub to the 30,000-square-foot, 50-hectoliter production brewery, it's pretty amazing. I'm thankful the Giannopoulos family always strives to provide the resources needed to continually evolve and brew quality beer."<br>As the brewery grew, O'Reilly trained a small army of capable brewers, many of whom have gone on to noteworthy brewing positions elsewhere, while some of the very best remain a part of the innovative team at Sly Fox. Although the brewery does not plan to immediately replace O'Reilly, as many as five brewers came of age under his tutelage and are poised to contribute to the brewery's ongoing innovation, sustainability and growth. <br>Former Operations Manager, Tim Ohst will be named director of brewery operations and will oversee production at the regional brewery that currently enjoys distribution in six states.<br>"Brian and I grew up together in the beer business over the last 17 years," Giannopoulos continued.

The beer will be released at both breweries this weekend. <br />“We’ve wanted to do a collaboration together for months, so why not salute the occasion where we both became full time beer guys?” exclaimed Hohl.</p> <p>“It’s a great opportunity to showcase what’s happening with craft beer in Oregon City” added Strauss. “Plus we really enjoy brewing together and learning from one another.” <br />“Toss This Job And Shovel Wit” will be released at Coin Toss Brewing this Friday, May 25, from 5pm to 8pm; and at Bent Shovel Brewing this Saturday, May 26, from 12pm to 8pm.
